I'm looking for the absolute cheapest GPU that can handle playing games at 1080P with 60FPS in 2026, and I'd like to keep my budget under 250 Euros. Currently, I'm struggling with integrated graphics, and all the games I want to play are either running poorly or not at all. Any recommendations for what I should be aiming for?

What games are you planning to play? And what’s your current CPU and RAM setup? This info can really help narrow down the best options.
The RTX 3050 8GB is the bare minimum I would consider. But if you can stretch your budget a bit, the RTX 5050 would be a much better option. Also, if you're buying used, I've seen RTX 3070's around for 250 Euros and even RTX 2080's for about 200!
Just a heads up, 250 Euros is roughly 291 dollars. With that, you might grab a used RTX 3070Ti or maybe even an RX 6800XT if you're lucky!
If you're looking for something used, a 2060 Super could be a solid choice! It's decent for 1080P gaming.
You might want to check out second-hand options on your local marketplace. It's a great way to find deals under your budget!
Yeah, in the Netherlands, Marktplaats.nl is a good site for used hardware.
I'm planning to play games like Hello Neighbor, Lethal Company, Minecraft, Half Sword, and Roblox. My specs will include a Ryzen 5600 and 16GB of RAM, as I'm saving for a new PC and want to reuse my current one for a server later.
